Great footage, and lovely voice-over from Mister Chormondley-Warner.

Interesting footage but - the camera car is definitely NOT an F2 or GP car. The front wheels are far too narrow for 1967 and the front suspension looked awfully crude - more like a 500 cc Cooper.

The commentary said it was a 2 litre car entered in the 3 litre class. Agree that it's definately not F1.

The other observation I made was how come something shot from a crude on-boar camera in 1967 is the best quality video I've yet to see on YouTube?

That footage would not have been from the race and is probably made up of a number practice laps cobbled together. The shots are from a film camera (as opposed to video or TV)and most film cameras would not be able to run for up to ten minutes without running out of film. A lap of the Ring in a car like that woulkd have taken at least 10 minutes.
